wow... damn it feels good to own a 3v!!!!
I just wish i had the cash to change my diff gears etc over and hit the track.
How much more do you want to squeeze out of a 3v in n/a form?

Good work fellas!

Rob

Rob, i don't think there is anymore "safe" power to be had in n/a form, we will try a couple of suspension changes, and maybe take some more weight out of it and it might run 12.45 or there abouts.

This is Bob's everyday driver so i can't go nuts, plus i want my car to go quicker now....LOL......

So if it runs a 12.45 that would make it quicker than all but 2 N/A boss's :

Anyone seen a 3V Six speed auto run yet? Id be interested to see what they are like for a starting point and what an edit could do to one of them as the six speed auto has made the rest of the range a fair bit quicker.

Good results guys!

Yes mate it's a HO body kit not sure if it was at the All Ford Day but he did bring it up to heathcote to have a look when we had the last AFF drag day in may....When he saw my car run the numbers he was hooked to go faster in his.

Cheers Craig
